When my baby moved out and the blues moved in
There wasn't nothin' I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands
Lord what am I comin' to?I just keep moanin'
Moanin' the bluesI wrote a nice, long letter
Sayin' Mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome
And all I do is moan
I been lovin' that gal for so doggone long
I can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must' ve been wrong
'Cause my head is startin' to bowAnd now I'm moanin'
Moanin' the bluesIf you want a good gal to stay around
You gotta treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town
And you'll almost lose your mlindThen you'll moanin'
Moanin' the bluesOh baby, baby, baby
Honey baby, please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan
I promise you baby that I'll be good
And I'll never be bad no more
I'm sittin' here waitin' for you right now
To walk through that front doorThen I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues
Then I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues
